Hi Scout,
Welcome to the forum.
Your crossguard being an easy fix may not be quite as easy as you think. The grip is held on a threaded tang that projects off the back of the blade. Once the nut is in place and tightened the bottom of the hollow grip is filled with epoxy, encapsulating the nut and making that end of the grip water tight. It's a real tough job to get that epoxy out so you can disassemble the knife.
I suspect that your knife does not have the epoxy. With the raw finish on the blade and the unsharpened cutting edge, I suspect that this knife is assembled from parts that came out of the factory by other than standard means.

Reason: spelled epoxy wrong. . . twice
